An 18-year-old Manitou Beach man pleaded guilty to stealing nine boxes of beer, 18 bottles of liquor and a number of steaks from Highland Inn at Devils Lake. Justus Hunter Mapes was released from jail on a personal recognizance bond after the plea hearing Wednesday in Lenawee County Circuit Court.

Mapes was charged last month with breaking into the Highland Inn on Sept. 1 and looting it of drinks and food.

Mapes was scheduled by Judge Timothy P. Pickard for sentencing on Dec. 19. He is also facing sentencing on a felonious assault charge he pleaded guilty to on Oct. 16. He admitted taking part with his brother in assaulting a man with a handgun on Sept. 13 at West Terrace Apartments on West Maumee Street in Adrian.
